I totally agree. My government here in Canada is legalizing marijuana next year. I mainly think this came to be because the liberal party is in power, because were it the conservatives I think the opposite would be true. Also, there is tons of money to be made and they obviously want to capitalize on it.
In the US it's quite different, since prisons are a huge market and drug trafficking is the top reason for incarceration. It's also a known fact that the government is already profiting on illegal drug trade. So I don't think they're inclined to legalize, except for select states that are more liberal.
You seem like an astute fellow. Its really a waste of time and money especially when Home Capital up there is having major issues. Tax the stupid stuff that any teenager or adult im sure can get freely by you, and make some constructive money back for the state. Anywhere its been legalized has not seen any jump in crime. Its like, next real issue already. The world has some real problems.
I've never made any dumb decisions when high, it actually helps me solve problems in my life because I enter a very analytic state. I just need to make a good habit of keeping a notepad handy to write all those ideas down. heh
